Commissioner’s Perspective with NBA Commissioner Adam Silver

On February 1, 2014, Adam Silver took over as the fifth Commissioner of the NBA, assuming the role from one of the most successful Commissioners in professional sports history, David Stern. In this fascinating one-on-one interview with Malcolm Gladwell, Adam Silver will reflect on his 20+ years in “the League” and discuss his vision for the future of the NBA, including topics such as growing the game globally, the relationship between the NBA and the NCAA, administering drafting and free agency, collective bargaining, and competitive balance. Also to be covered are commercial issues such as fan experience, broadcast rights, and the evolution of the NBA brand.
